Silent Echos - A True Story - Baico Publishing Inc. 2009
Silent Echoes
is based on a true story that relates to physical, sexual,
nutritional and psychological abuse. It also relates to archetypal
psychology, symbolism and mysticism.
The story is told by the main character who spends a few weeks in an
all women's residential home while she does a painful research about
her childhood, adolescent and young adult life. She loses time when she
stumbles upon an object, overhears bits of conversation, or sees a
building that reminds her of the past. These trigger the horrific
memories she relives.
